In my reading over the past few days about patriarchy, the term ‘patriarchal voice’ just didn’t work for me. What I did was replace that term with another. I thought of this voice as a ‘protective voice’. It’s the voice that we go to for advice about w…
The plot really is thickening at UnladyLike Manor. An advertisement for the new House Keeper has been circulated and as the inspector predicted, PC Blake has come along to apply in the hopes of conducting her own private investigation into the going ons at the Manor House. Now, I could have told her straight away that [...]
Here is a scene from one of my favorite DVDs “The Mischief Makers 2″ from Shadow lane.
So. All is well. I am constantly amazed at that man that I call Owner. Lover. Partner. Thank you, W, for all you are and all you do. I love you, and even more than that, I respect you and admire you. I can’t imagine life without you. Thank you for not kicking me to [...]
So, aside from last night’s angst (and now the fall-out from that) I’ve been feeling pretty good in other ways. With W, with Ad, with the kids and life and yoga and school and managing my bills and my work commitments. My health is getting better and I have lots of fun coming up. I [...]
I recognize in myself a need to be able to contain things (things being a euphemism for the discomfort of this anxiety/emotional turmoil/upheaval) in boxes, so that I can manage and deal with them in small pieces. I also recognize this is not always conducive to allowing situations to happen and grow organically, which is, [...]
The patriarchal voice is the voice that refers to the rules and philosophy of the patriarchal system. To keep it simple, when speaking of the patriarchal system we might otherwise say, ‘It’s a man’s world’.I think you can argue that part of this philos…
Back last November, I played a great scene with the lovely Lily Bolane, who comments here on a fairly regularly basis. She subsequently wrote a story inspired by our little encounter. With her permission, and rather belatedly (mea culpa!), I’m pleased to publish it here for your delectation. Enjoy! Unrepentant Kitty looked down at [...]
I had this rather longish post that I was working on, talking about the learning process I am going through, as I discover and assess what I need to be comfortable in what we are doing. And I realized…I just probably won’t ever really get there: comfort. Ease. There isn’t going to be some moment [...]
As a woman who has explored an inner voice – the voice of the uninhibited and wanting woman within me, known as cindi – I pricked up my ears when a new friend began to tell me about ‘Voice dialogue’. This is a kind of therapy where the therapist asks t…
Hello folks. I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the ballet, but if you have seen ballet or trained in it you will be familiar with the ballet smile. It looks like this:Not the most genuine of smiles, but that is probably to do w…
Wandering near St Paul’s cathedral on Tuesday, I was intrigued to discover the following organisation: As any students of the history of corporal punishment will know, the primary line of business of the Scottish tawse makers (John J Dick, McRostie and others) was saddlery. I’m given to wonder what emphasis the Worshipful Company placed on [...]
In my fantasies I am often the helpless victim of those in charge of me. Sometimes, I am a willing captive. I have agreed to the union, expect to and do comply with the wishes of my husband (or who ever it is that I agreed to obey). Often, I am si…
My husband and I went out for dinner last night; back to the same Italian restaurant that we went to after my very first spanking. I felt rather nostalgic about that and so wished that I was sitting on a sore bottom. Nevertheless, we had a lovely time….
Each week (ish) I feature my favorite writings & photos from around the net, e[lust], Wanton Wednesday & Sinful Sunday. A Slut’s Memoir: Hair – Because I love a redhead – and this pose is just beautiful. Lady Laid Bare: Red Mary Janes – Love the smile, and I’m a sucker for a pair of [...]
A little while back, I finally got to meet the lovely Poppy St Vincent – an online friend for what seems like the longest time, and even more delightful in real life. Within moments of meeting, I felt completely relaxed and happy in her company – and comfortable chatting openly about life, the universe and [...]
So, “Fifty Shades of Grey”. BDSM-themed fiction, currently a the top of the mainstream fiction chart… Hands up who’s read it? I finished it late last night, determined to reach the end, and I thought I’d share my views. It really is wonderful to realise that so many people are encountering a taste of our world [...]
